... on the walls of courage suddenly gone sour ....

... it gets into you, the storm
raging outdoors: the high
sc.raping of the wind shoving
furniture and things around
upstairs, the hail-laced rain
sounding like buckshot on
the walls of courage suddenly
gone sour and on the floors
of the heart. Storm parks in
the handicapped zone (because
that is what you have become, paralyzed, pull-the-cloth-out-
from-under played with your spine),
engine idling, thrumming so loud
God can't hear your cries for
mercy: no more, no more!! And
then, the sun, the awakening to
discover this was only a dream!??
what an ominous photo Karla -- the line between reality and the nightmare is blurred in the stretch seeking truth -- I like this one very much Karla -- sweet dreams this night, be yours - God bless --JMW
Wow. I'm glad this was just a dream. You seem to be gaining strength against these storms in your writing. they still are a horrible force but you know they will end and the sun will come out, eventually. God won't take you until your time is up and most of us don't know when that will be. Excellent write. Liz
This one gave me goosebumps on top of my goosebumps! YIKES!! You play your nightmarish fears to the hilt in this chilling melodrama~ Very well penned/imaged; brava! If I have nightmares tonight, you're in troubbbbbbbbbbbbbbble..........LOL
(((HUGS))) and much love (I think! LOL), your twinkles, Karen Lynn. :0
I do not like when the storms pop up and the winds knock things around either. Frightening but I put it all into God's hands and survive them with prayers for them to be easily over with and doing no damage to me or my surroundings though. Good write **********
